Another rant, appointment has been made for Monday at Dentists - the home of Miss Whiplash the hygienist - not seeing her ever again, that's for sure.
Real rant is how much?

Try "te kan a Tay" .

Rant is no transfer from airport to hotel as they consider 5 weeks in advance a late booking!

Oh, and the answer is usually "Cala" or "polycala".

People who blame others (innocent others!) simply because they can't deal with owning any of the blame themselves. They have no clue what damage they do.

At least I hope they have no clue, otherwise they would be complete and utter ********!!!

Ring Ring

"Can I please speak with Mr Cadalot"
"Yes speaking"
"My name is "something in Indian that I will never be able to pronounce and he speaking so fast that despite having many Indian and Asian friends I am never going to be able to understand him easily, even if the telephone line was good.

Cadalot thinks blinking call centre again

"I'm calling about the road traffic accident you have had in the last two years"
"Oh Yes how did you know I had an accident?" I know how they know but now I'm having a game with them
Completely ignoring the question because it's not on their script

"So you were in a car accident in the last two years?"
"Yes I was, sort of!"

Silence he is thinking what does he mean sort of?

"So you were in a car accident in the last two years?"
"Yes, well the car was technically I wasn't"
Silence then "I'm not understanding"
"Well the car was parked and someone hit it"
"So You weren't in the car?"
"Nope I was indoors"
"Umm Ho, please wait a moment"

A new voice slightly better English repeats the whole script again and I'm answering like a well oiled sit com actor trying to sound as innocent as possible and not extracting the urine at all and wasting their time and money.

Eventually he informs me that If I have not had any other accidents in the last two years where I was actually in the car involved he can't help me.

I come off the phone laughing like a drain and the wife says

"you've been at it again haven't you?", all I can do is grin and nod. "But I only told them the truth babe, and their list is well out of date as that was at least five years ago"

I no longer let them and any other foreign or domestic PPI or sales call centre operatives get under my skin, these days I see how long I can waste their time and money.

Shut my thumb in the car door and it flippin hurts. Jeez, can't you tell I'm going on holiday shortly ...

[bramble]

Getting a bathroom makeover. Rang yesterday to get a delivery date. We will be out tomorrow says the guy, and we will ring to let you know what time we will be arriving.
Fast forward to 7.25 this morning and the phone rang. I am about 5 minutes away from your house with your bathroom fittings. We never got up so quick and 10 minutes later we were left with our porch and hall full of stuff as the tiles for the floor snd the walls arrived yesterday.
A weekend of clutter and a week of dirt and dust without a shower while this is being done starting on Monday morning.

[Lumpy]
